1. How does a staffing company work?
Eagle places skilled resources with a wide variety of organizations. We work with these companies to understand their staffing needs and then review resumes, interview candidates and perform reference checks to determine the best match for each role. Depending on our clients’ requirements, we’ll either hire a contractor to fill a short term need, or we’ll place a professional in a permanent position.
2. How much does this service cost job seekers?
There is no charge to a person seeking employment (contract or permanent). Staffing companies are generally compensated by their clients.
3. How does your recruiting process work?
All of our open jobs are posted in our Job Centre. We accept resumes for all types of executive, technology, finance, or accounting positions, and contact the best qualified candidates for any open opportunity. Every resume we receive is carefully screened and added to our database so we can easily contact people who qualify for existing and future positions.
4. Who are your clients?
We have an extensive list across Canada and the United States. We are a preferred vendor to over 100 organizations in both the private and public sectors.
5. Do you alter my resume to suit a particular position?
No, we will never alter the information on your resume. We may suggest changes to your resume; however, we will always contact you first before making any changes.
6. Will you present my resume without speaking to me first?
Never. As indicated in our Privacy Statement, we will always ask your permission before submitting your resume to any organization.
7. How many people in your organization will be actively seeking opportunities on my behalf?
Eagle is a team-based environment. That means that all of our Recruiters and Account Managers will be working together and sharing information to make sure that we find you the best match, quickly.
8. If you don’t find me something right away, how will you remember who I am?
Our database contains detailed information for every applicant. We will always refer to this information as new opportunities arise. Our goal is to maintain the most up-to-date information on your profile and you can be a part of this by updating your profile at any time.
9. How long are contract assignments?
The length of any contract assignment varies depending on the needs of the client and their project(s). Contracts can range anywhere from a few days to a year. Our clients will often offer extensions on contracts.
10. Do you offer any benefits?
We assist our consultants as much as possible in educating them on where they can go to get information regarding specific benefits such as training, health benefits, and dental plans, though ultimately the responsibility lies with the individual consultant, as direct provision of benefits of this nature would pose co-employment risks for both the client and the candidate. However, we are in a partnership with LMS PROLINK to offer insurance to independent contractors who work with Eagle at a reduced monthly rate.
11. How does Eagle help with international contracts?
If you qualify for and decide to take a contract outside of Canada, Eagle will assist you in preparing all the necessary required documentation. We also have a partnership with an insurance company in the United States to provide you the insurance you’ll need.
12. What else can I expect from Eagle?
Working with Eagle has many advantages, including:
- Monthly industry newsletters
- Networking events
- Opportunities to team with others
- Access to whitepapers
13. I am looking for a new position in executive or management consulting, what is the best way to get started with Eagle?
The best place to start is our Job Centre. We list all of our current jobs within the Job Centre. If you find a position that that meets your skills, you can submit your resume directly to that job. If, at the time, there are no positions that interest you, you can still create a profile and submit a resume. Our recruiters will contact you when there is a position that matches your qualifications.
14. Do you have access to positions in other cities in Canada, the U.S or internationally?
Yes. We have offices in 10 cities across Canada that service the needs of our clients across Canada, in the U.S. and internationally.
15. How do I get an interview with a recruiter?
We receive thousands of resumes every month. For that reason, recruiters focus on meeting candidates who match the current and anticipated needs of our clients. To submit your resume and to be considered for all positions, please visit our Job Centre.
16. Once you’ve reviewed my professional skills and understand my career goals, how will you find me a job?

Eagle is qualified to provide security clearances; however, this service is generally offered to independent contractors only.
21. I applied for a position, why hasn’t anybody contacted me?
While we appreciate every resume submitted, we contact the best qualified candidates for any given position. If no one has contacted you, then there are other candidates who better qualify. We will keep your resume on file and will contact you for future opportunities that better suit your skills. You can update your profile regularly to ensure we always have the most up-to-date information regarding your skills and qualifications.
22. Should I consider getting incorporated if I am an independent contractor?
Whether or not to incorporate depends on each invidual’s situation. We recommend you consult with your accountant to discuss the options. More information about incorporation…
